The IPCC (United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has no geologists among the hundreds of authors of its last major report (2013-14)
The IPCC’s very existence relies on public belief in ‘Anthropogenic (man-made) Global Warming’ (AGW) by CO2 emissions. Most IPCC authors, mainly government and university researchers, are biased by strong vested interests in AGW (publications; continuance of salaries; research grants).
The IPCC assures us that Earth’s temperature is controlled by CO2 and that the Sun has minuscule or zero effect. This is precisely backwards. In truth, solar-magnetic output controls our climate (Svensmark effect, Bullet 14) and CO2 has little or no influence (Bullets 1, 10, 11, 19, 32). Varying solar output even controls the timing of large earthquakes, making it even harder to believe the IPCC’s claim that the Sun might not affect climate.
These 33 bullets collectively prove that any CO2 effect on global temperatures of the Holocene period (i.e. the last 11,650 years), including the ‘Modern Warming’ period since 1815, was nil or too small to detect.

1) The IPCC (United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has no geologists among the hundreds of authors of its last major report (2013-14) and at most 1 geologist in the next report (due 2022; see my Technical Note 2019-10). Thus IPCC focuses on only the last 170 years (since multiple reliable thermometer measurements began, ~1850), yet Earth is 26 million (sic) times older, 4.5 billion years. Geologists know that throughout this time Earth has constantly warmed or cooled (never static). Thus ‘climate change’ is nothing new; it is perfectly usual. During the last 11,650 years, our current ‘Holocene’ interglacial epoch, climate change has repeatedly been fast enough to cause collapse of civilisations (Bullet 20).
2A) The IPCC’s very existence relies on public belief in ‘Anthropogenic (man-made) Global Warming’ (AGW) by CO2 emissions. Most IPCC authors, mainly government and university researchers, are biased by strong vested interests in AGW (publications; continuance of salaries; research grants).
2B) Similarly, universities have sacrificed their impartiality by hosting institutes financially mandated to promote AGW. For example, London’s former bastion of scientific integrity Imperial College has, since 2007, housed the ‘Grantham Institute – Climate Change and the Environment’, founded and funded by investment magnate Jeremy Grantham (heavily involved in forest destruction for biomass energy according to the 2019 Michael Moore/Jeff Gibbs documentary ‘Planet of the Humans’). The ‘Tyndall Centre for Climate Research’ (founded 2000) has branches at the Universities of Cardiff, Manchester, Newcastle and Fudan, and also at the University of East Anglia, in the same building as the infamous IPCC-linked Climatic Research Unit (CRU; Wiki ‘Climategate’).
2C) Well-known scientists formerly associated with the IPCC have subsequently denounced its methods.
3) Claimed ‘97% consensus among scientists’ that AGW exists is a deception. It refers in fact to polls of recent publications by only ‘climate scientists’, i.e. atmospheric specialists, lacking deep-time perspective (Bullet 1), who deal with ‘climate models’ (Bullet 6). Graduation and employment of ‘climate scientists’ opportunistically boomed in the AGW hysteria since 1990, lavishly funded, creating a strong incentive for bias (Bullet 2). The vast majority of the world’s normal scientists, numbering millions and lacking any financial bias, are not part of the ‘consensus’, having never been polled, myself included. In November 2019 Wikipedia deleted its “List of scientists who disagree with the scientific consensus on global warming” (Bullet 29). (Please see link for full point story.)

CONCLUSION
These 33 bullets collectively prove that any CO2 effect on global temperatures of the Holocene period (i.e. the last 11,650 years), including the ‘Modern Warming’ period since 1815, was nil or too small to detect.
Almost certainly CO2’s greenhouse effect is nullified by negative-feedback effects greatly underestimated by the IPCC. This explains ‘The Holocene Temperature Conundrum’ and why ‘runaway’ warming is unknown throughout geological history.
Holocene temperature changes were instead driven by solar-magnetic changes (controlling cloudiness via the Svensmark Theory), superimposed on long-term cooling due to Earth’s declining axial obliquity.
I, Dr Higgs, predict another few decades (to about 2050) of ocean-lagged Modern Warming by the Sun’s 20th-century surge, offset by CO2’s net (including feedbacks) cooling effect, while CO2 climbs nearer the optimum for plant photosynthesis. Then Sun-forced cooling will begin. There is no ‘climate emergency’. There has never been a better time to be alive. Be happy.
